The type of road surface that you drive on most often will also affect the tireís life.
Driving on rough, unpaved country roads can cut your tireís life in half.
Premature tire wear can also be caused by numerous mechanical conditions in your
car. Worn or loose steering or suspension parts, misalignment and improper
mounting and balancing can all contribute.
Drivers can prolong the life of their tires by reducing speed, driving less
aggressively and performing regular maintenance. Some simple tire maintenance
steps could substantially reduce the number of tires scrapped, with energy and
environmental benefits accruing to all Canadians. Purchasing high durability tires
will also help reduce the number of used tires generated each year.
